Cal 480 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 G"day Nt...they are excactly the same,just made in different factory.Pacific /exel composites,wison,snyder,kilwell ect all use the same mandrel and make up a blank that is 7 wraps of fibreglass 144 inches long.A 7144 is a 7144,an analogy would be 5 different companies making vegemite using excact same ingredients but each one calling it a different name...but the stuff in the jars is identical.Cheers newtontoney 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckTseeker 425 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 if its a genuine Kilwell blank then it was made in New Zealand as they are an old Rod maker from way back, top rods too My fly rod is a KilwellKilwell Rod Companycheers chuck newtontoney 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
